Looks like it could be retaining spawn from the previous season, I think there is a condition that can cause tench to do this. Although that said it looks like more than a few seasons worth in that lump..
Is it me or are those deciduous trees in the background in full foliage? Looks like a photo from last season (or earlier) and the fish is right up to the lens. Suspicious.
Looks like dropsy, i have a 20lb plus Koi in my pond that has been having similar issues last winter,though not as bad as this.She spent most of her time wandering around the surface looking sorry for herself,luckily the pond did not freeze,then last week with the warmer weather she seemed to return to normal.
reckon its a good couple of years worth of spawn, cant see her being alive too much longer,if she turns up again still alive stripping the spawn by hand may save her but thats got its own risks i believe. Either way dont bode well for her.
